When making a level 1 Knight, players will first need to decide if they will be Strength or Finesse based. Strength weapons like two-handed swords and axes are more common, but the few rare spears have added range, making them great for wider area attacks. It also determines which type of armor is worn: heavy plate that offers amazing physical armor, but power magical armor; or leather gear that balances the two armor ty

And last but not least, Sniper Drones are exactly what they sound like. These guys don't take a lot of hits to kill, but hitting them before dying is the real problem. Their range is much wider than any other enemy unit meaning they can attack your unit before you can attack them. Prioritize taking out these guys or else they will cause a lot of problems for the pla

The first thing to be prepared for, in any turn-based tactics game and in Gears of war villains Tactics specifically, is a lot of repositioning. At the heart of the game is the back and forth of risk and reward that is the flanking system. Getting around enemy cover allows for some juicy opportunity for clean hits and solid damage, so don't be afraid to burn a point or two rounding the field to get an angle on opponents. With that being said, it is equally important to have an exit strategy in mind. Flanking will often come at the cost of wading deeper into the enemy's front lines, meaning an elevated danger of getting swamped and flanked. Be prepared to get in and out in the same breath, or at least be braced to take some damage in exchange for dishing some out. Consider whether the cost is worth it: can you eliminate an enemy with a flank move? What kind of cover can you get behind to mitigate any coming swarming? The key takeaway here is be prepared to burn a point on manoeuvering. Do not get stubborn about planting and shooting - damage and suppression is appealing, but if the cost is losing strategic ground or getting surrounded, it will just not be worth the couple of extra shots staying in place affo

However, action points are not necessary at all when it comes to opening chests. All the player has to do is hover their mouse over a chest until the cursor changes from an arrow into a hand. Then they can open it, no further steps needed. This way, players can maximize their action points on obliterating the alien enem

In addition to these universal options, players can effectively use skills to boost and stretch skill points. Each of the five classes have skills that add much-needed action points. For example, the Sniper's chain Shot skill will award the shooter AP for hits; the Support can use Empower to grant bonus points to a squad-mate get their own points for reviving a friend with the Encourage passive ability; and the Vanguard's Breach skill gives a point to any soldier canny enough to bring down a breached enemy. Spend some time exploring the skill trees to suss out what options will generate the most action points without costing on combat skills, and think about this when setting up team composition - it may be worth having a Support who, while not a damage dealer on their own, can keep every other soldier firing that bit longer with bonus AP. More points means more gunfire - keep the heat up and the battle is the player's to

To top it off, Tactics nails the reconstruction of familiar enemies in a turn-based world. Boomers are just as terrifying and stompy, Tickers just as erratic and hyperactive, Kantus just as loud and obnoxious . There are a few new foes to discover too, but the core army of bad dudes didn’t require many tweaks to remain interesting and formidable. As it turns out, the Locust are just as robust in a strategic sett

**Divinity Original Sin 2 ** is one of the richest roleplaying experiences. Not only does the game have mechanics that offer new ways of play , but Larian Studios is also very active about adding in new quests and characters . In any playthrough, it is important to make a balanced and compatible party. Players might build up a team of healers, snipers, and mages . But one of the more classic roles is the front line warrior that can engage melee units and guard their teamma

Among the many turn-based tactics staples adopted by the adaptation is the action point system. What can be done on a turn is capped by each soldiers pool of points that must be divvied out between movement orders, weapon attacks, and the use of special skills. While fairly intuitive to more experience players of the genre, the new players coming to the game from the third person shooter forerunner may find themselves a bit overwhelmed by what, on the surface, looks like a fairly restrictive system. While there is certainly enough in-game time to self-teach the finer details of action points, this guide aims to arm new players with a run down on how to best use the action points in combat. From movement and positioning to the basics of point management, this guide gives new players all they need to make their team into an efficient locust-killing mach
